i have the same issue a lot "what could he do anyway?"

can hi fix it all? no

can he make the depression go away? no

all he can do is "say stuff." That's how i get. But you know? i have discovered that "what he can do" is make me feel better. And that alone is a good reason to call. How effective or productive that call is otherwise is often a product of how well i can explain what i need or how i feel.

if you hurt, then tell him that. He knows you so well, and he cares so very much. You know that he could recite hickory dickory dock and you would feel some measure of comfort. It's ok, natural and a good thing to want what makes you feel secure and safe when you are hurting.
